I find various documentation (Linux-centric?) that if your client
requests port 0, the service returns an unused port, no TOCTTOU.

Of course, your problem is not that they are in use, but that they
are blocked by the firewall.  But it would be a courtesy if the
service were to treat them as if they were in use.
